Stand out from all the Noise and you will Sell like Hell

Every day we are surrounded by influence agents, who are all vying for our attention in one way or another. There are billboards everywhere, companies use ambush techniques like phone solicitation, to try to get our attention and money, TV and radio commercials blast at us all day, our emails are filled to the brim with unwanted advertising messages and even when you try to use your social media channels, there are adverts everywhere. There is a mass of unwanted noise going on around us all the time.

How do you Invest your most Valuable Possession?

There is massive power in words. The words we speak and consistently think are slowly moulding our future, one simple word and phrase at a time.

Sales Tips from a Sales Superstar

My wife and I recently found an amazing lifestyle village, where we wanted to stay, so we approached a local estate agent and asked him to sell our current home for us. What astounded me was how quickly he sold it. Within two weeks he had brought about ten qualified buyers through our home and one of them made a very attractive offer, which we accepted. Being a sales trainer, I thought it would be interesting to write an article today, to share my ideas with you, on why I believe he is so successful and why he managed to sell our home so quickly.

Create a Success Habit Set for Super Achievement

Small Daily Disciplines Lead To Super Achievement

This article seeks to discover the reason why some people commit to their dreams and carry out the daily disciplines necessary to ensure their success and others do nothing and just continue to travel on their path to mediocrity? I believe the answer is not that complicated or difficult to discover. I believe the reason some succeed and others don’t is driven by desire, hunger and commitment. Dare to awaken your own desire, commitment and belief in yourself and you too will have the drive to take the small actions you need to take daily to succeed.

Mentors Can Help Make 2013 your Best Year so Far

The path to living your dreams is far shorter and a lot less lonely, if you surround yourself with the right people. It is important to surround yourself with people, who inspire and energise you and from whom you can learn, gain support, guidance, help, and get the encouragement you will need to keep going even when things get difficult. Don’t be afraid to walk in the footsteps of others – for that is where the most skill and knowledge can be acquired. When the time is right though, have the confidence to stride out and make your own mark.

Are you Ready to Stop Spinning Your Wheels in 2013?

How has 2012 worked out for you? Are you happy with the progress you have made this year? Or do you feel like another year has flown by, where you feel like you have just spun your wheels all year and you are in the same place or you even worse, you feel like you have gone backwards. That can and will change in 2013, if you are willing to make a conscious effort to apply inspired action to everything you do, next year. Why do you do what you do?r

Make Our World Better – Become Your Best

I do not know of anyone, who wakes up in the morning with a deep rooted desire to “be” less, “have” less or who wants to “do” less. The only thing people want less of, is frustration, weight on their butts or emotional stress etc. It is a natural tendency for every inhabitant on this planet to want to constantly expand and stretch their world. This expansion spans all areas of our lives and most certainly stretches to include our overall awareness, influence and significance. Common Character Traitsr

Allow Yourself to set your Childish Gifts free once again

Meaning and fulfilment is seldom discovered, when you fill your life with trinkets and treasure. Uncovering what really fulfils you, starts with you allowing yourself to see your world through those childish eyes of wonder and fascination once again. It is never too late to have a great childhood. There are so many characteristics we possess as children, which we allow the pressures of life, to kill in us. It is time to introspect and to unlock all of these incredible “SUPER POWERS” once again.

Gratitude, Not your Aptitude Determines your Altitude

I know the title to this article is a little contentious, but there is more to gratitude than meets the eye. When you are in a state of gratitude, you create an environment of positive emotion, which encourages you to be in a positive, creative mental state. As you know it is far easier to invite success into your experience, when you are operating from a positive state. When you focus on all the things that you have in your life to be grateful for, you create a positive environment and you experience positive emotions.

2013 is fast approaching, are you willing to unleash the creative power of your dreams and allow them to project the kind of life you want to lead.

Making your Strategic Planning Work

When refining or creating your vision for next year, it is crucial that every team member participates fully, offering as much constructive input as possible. The more participative and inclusive the process of creating or refining your vision is, the easier it will be for all stakeholders to accept and apply the new vision. The vision for your team is in effect, a very clear and concise message, which gives all stakeholders a crystal clear direction that they all will travel in, during the next year and beyond.

How to Become a Super Achiever?

Most people want to live their full potential and become the best possible version of themselves possible. My experience has shown me that it is possible for anyone to dramatically improve their performance and for them to realise their potential, if they are willing to make a few small targeted behavioural and philosophical shifts as listed below. Understand your Purposer All super achievers have a purpose bigger than themselves. Look around your world and discover a purpose, which is bigger than your own selfish, personal interest.

Slow Down and You Will Improve Both your Performance and Results

Over the years I have noticed a strange anomaly, which at first seemed to me, to be counterintuitive. When people try to work fast, they become overwhelmed and slow, whereas, when they concentrate on being smooth, the results they produce are not only better, but they occur faster too. When people are hurried and pressed, the results they are able to produce are poor, however when people are encouraged to make a crucial philosophical and behavioural shift, where they focused on being smooth rather than fast, the results they managed to produce, were far better and faster to produce.

Your Healthy Self-Esteem Unlocks your Dreams

Have you ever wondered what attribute or attributes, makes some people winners while other people just seem to stand around life as spectators, watching their lives flash by in a wave of discontentment? I believe the biggest reason is vested in the fact that winners believe in themselves and they know that they deserve to win. The starting point for any level of success is vested in how much belief you have in yourself and all the possibilities available to you.

Fear Destroys your Potential – Belief Supports it

Are you destroying your ambition for meaningful success, because you are allowing yourself to remain trapped in FEAR?

Are you Happy with everyone in your Inner Circle?

The path towards meaning and fulfilment is far shorter and a lot less lonely, if you surround yourself with the right people. We all have people around us all the time, so instead of allowing them to just randomly appear in your life. Doesn’t it make sense to carefully select your inner circle, so that you can have a very supportive team surrounding you? A team of the right people, whom you can consistently contribute value towards and who in return will contribute great value back to you.

Dare to Break out of the Herd

We are very quickly moving into the final stretch of 2012. This is not the time to ease up and get into that typical end of year lazy feeling, where we all use those really handy excuses, like we have worked really hard this year or the holiday season is upon us, to justify why we go into cruise mode, for the rest of the year. All the winners I have observed, do exactly the opposite this time of year. They kick into high gear and actually do their best work between now and the end of the year. This is the perfect time to break away from the herd and to shine.

Make the Shift Today – Manage the Right Activities Within Your Available Time

We can easily earn more money, if we are willing to apply ourselves, develop meaningful relationships at any time during our lives or acquire abundant possessions, trinkets and treasures. There is an endless supply of these available to us, at all times. Time, energy and health on the other hand, are the fundamental raw materials of life, which you can choose to use wisely, waste or even kill. As the supply of these is limited in the context that we use them, treat your time, energy and health, as your most valuable possessions and invest them very wisely.

Stop trying to Shout Louder than everyone else to make the sale

The secret to sustainable sales success is not found by trying to shout louder than everyone else out there. The secret is to move away from the crowd and the noise and to begin the process of building connection with the right people, in the right place at the right time. This is a case of going back to basics and instead of trying to spray your message out into the world and sitting back and praying that someone will hear it and miraculously get to know like and trust what you have to offer.

Embrace Rejection and become a Sales Superstar

I do not believe that rejection exists at all. Before you approach a prospect to offer them a solution, which will allow them to alleviate a challenge or satisfy a need they may have. You do not have a sale. If they do not see the value in what you are offering and decline your offer, you still do not have a sale. Nothing has changed. Things only change once you have adequately built up a value proposition, which your prospect or client finds desirable, and they decide to purchase your product or service.

Designing your Power Plan for Peak Performance

Success always leaves clues. No one around you that has achieved great success has done so in a vacuum. The path they have traveled, to achieve the remarkable success they have achieved, is paved with their own personal recipe or brand for success. One of the easiest ways to invite similar levels of success into your own experience is to explore what they did and to uncover their recipe. This recipe can then form the foundation you use for building your own “success blue print” or strategic plan. If you fail to plan, you are most certainly planning to fail.

Your Drive and Inspiration Must Come From Within

All enduring and sustainable inspiration must come from within each individual. That is why it so important for leaders to empower their team members and to support them to have a vision for the future of their own. As it is the inner drive or inspiration of each individual and their ability to have a personal vision, which will propel each team member to deliver their best, which in turn will allow the team to enjoy long term sustainable success. The vision of the leader can never inspire the members of their team, unless each individual can embrace the vision and make it their own.

You can, and never will, find any meaning and fulfilment in your life or business, if you go to a job every day just to make money.
